How on Earth, or indeed Alderaan we forgot this lady is beyond explanation. When our member Ripley suggested Princess Leia in the Honorary Oakley thread, a great disturbance was felt in the Force, as if millions of pins suddenly dropped in terror and the thread was suddenly silenced. Okay enough corny...

Where are the weeks going, it only seems like yesterday that girl gaming guru Laura Foy was front and center as the May 2007 Honorary Oakley. With that in mind and thanks to a couple of well placed suggestions within our forums and via MSN, we find ourselves this month looking at another female gaming...

It’s mid 2007, man time flies!. This time around the Honorary Oakley’s is going to take a look at another ‘real’ person. We’ve done a few characters recently, female game characters and a few fictional TV characters. This month we’re not only looking at a real human woman… but...

Back for another month and this time we’re celebrating gaming royalty no less. Please everyone, bow before Princess Zelda of the Hyrule royal family. It should be pointed out that Zelda isn’t the usual type of woman / girl / female we’d honor in the Oakley. The Honorary Oakley is all about strong...

In a special Honorary Oakley to kick off 2007, we thought we’d make it all about the cool female gaming characters in the sprawling gaming universe of Halo. So, instead of covering just the one female icon, this particular Oakley will cover a few—how’s that for value? The ladies of Halo we’ll...

This month we were looking for someone extra special to cover, a woman of such strength and fortitude that she stood out from the crowd. Although we’d have liked to have gone for a ‘real’ woman, we’ve opted for yet another fictional character in the form of Laura Roslin. For those people who...

Due to a bit of feedback in the Honorary Oakley section, we’ve gone all superhero once more for this Honorary Oakley. You may recall we had Wonder Woman as our Oakley back in February 2005, well now it’s the time of the X-Men as we honor one of their most prolific members, Jean Grey. What makes...

Thanks to a bit of feedback in the Honorary Oakley thread we’ve had a few suggestions for the Oakley this month, and, after some thought and deliberation, it has been decided that the Honorary Oakley for October goes to yet another ‘character’ as opposed to a ‘real’ woman. Why? Well, the...

Last month we highlighted one of the coolest female protagonists to appear in the survival horror genre (Resident Evil’s Claire Redfield). This month something a little different and somewhat of an umbrella Oakley; yes, this month we’re making an Honorary Oakley of girl gamers, not one particular...

Last month we highlighted one of the coolest female protagonists ever to grace a videogame (Half-Life’s Alex Vance), and this month we’re doing the same thing, but with a slightly older heroine of videogames, that of Claire Redfield from the Resident Evil series. Although Claire Redfield is perhaps...
